    Note that HTTP is a carrier-independant protocol, that doesn't care about how messages are sent or how you managed to address the other side.

    While TCP/IP is a more-or-less carrier-specific protocol operating at a much lower level, and intended to be used with other protocols on top.

    So you can do HTTP communication over TCP/IP. Or over RS232. Or potentially over a pidgin relay link, if you can survive the latencies.

    I must say I don't know what a "HTTP base control program" is.

    But HTTP is probably the most used protocol in the world right now for interfacing systems and pushing/requesting messages between applications.

    While "the public" most often see HTTP used with HTML for distributing web pages, it is very often used with JSON, SOAP (XML) and quite a number of other protocols to encode the actual messages while HTTP is used to handle the actual transfers and to acknowledge requests.

    And the advantage with such a massively used protocol is that a web browser, wget, cURL or similar can be used when testing.
